9/24 Cubs (Z!) @ Mets (Perez) 6:10pm The U & ESPN, XM188

So Im flippimg back and forth with the Sox game, and there was some disputed call at 2nd where a Twin was safe, and Hawk felt he was out, and ever since, hawk wont shut up about how awful the umpiring is in baseball. Thank God for Len and Bob.

 

They are down 3-1. I'm sure Hawk isn't even announcing.

 

The frustrating part has to be losing to a Twin team that isn't all that good.

 

Except the fact that Twins are a really good team. The are 2 games off their PYthagorean Record...So it's not as if they are flukes. Twins are a really good team, prolly better then the White Sox, who coincendentally are playing right were they should be. So don't underestimate the Twins.

 

Neither one of them is very good.

I turn on the game and the first thing I hear is Hawk saying "It's like a bunch of vultures picking away at a dead corpse."

You're not 14-15 games over .500 because your "not good." The Twins are a good team with solid talent.

[David]

hahaha seriously?

I guess, the thing about them isn't their Pythagorean, its that they are scoring runs with a really really bad offense. They trot out the likes of Nick Punto, Carlos Gomez, Alex Casilla, just limitless amounts of mediocre to bad players.

 

The only 2 everyday players with OPS's over .800 is Morneau and Mauer

I said they're not very good.

 

They're a mid-high 80's win team. So are the White Sox.

Well glad to see Derrek Lee walking more

 

I'm liking more of what he's doing at the plate lately

[Ski]

The Mets have a reliever with an ERA under 4?

[PrimeTime]

Crap DeRo hurt? If it had to be any Cub to be hurt, why couldnt it have been Theriot..

[David]

Admittedly, the Twins offense is based on potential, Young, Castilla and Gomez most notably, but you don't challenge for a division title, and are 15 games over .500 because your a "bad team." The Twins are a good team, regardless of how they have done it.

Damnit, David.

[David]

why are you putting "bad team" in quotes? who are you quoting?

 

as far as i can tell, nobody called them that.

[C.C.]

Dero left calf strain. Day to day.

[David]

Damnit, David.

 

haha i win again

 

 

calf strain for dero, not considered serious... might be in lineup tomorrow... day to day

[PrimeTime]

I agree with that..But I kindameant offensive starter..

[Little Slide Rooter]

left calf strain. meh.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I highly doubt DeRo will be in the lineup tomorrow, no matter how he feels.

[RedFlash]

when people are putting down a team like the Twins as being "not good", I just naturally assume people are calling them a bad team.

[C.C.]

I highly doubt DeRo will be in the lineup tomorrow, no matter how he feels.

 

Or the day after that.

[kujay]

D-Ro should be better after taking the rest of the week off.

 

Oh, and glad to know Fuku still sucks.
